I love these little books.

The best analogy is a professor that goes off on tangents and fills your head with nonstop info. That is a casebook. A concise professor that gets to the point, shows you how to apply the law, and lets you out early is what this book is. it is organized with a brief explanation and then a checklist that walks you step by step through the law. The Civ Pro version is a must but I used various supplements for this class. I would suggest looking supplements up in the law library and reading a few sections. I used Understanding Criminal Law when Emanuel Law Outlines: Criminal Law and my casebook Criminal Law: Cases and Materials didn't cover the topics well. I only began using Casenote Legal Briefs Criminal Law: Keyed to Kaplan Weisberg & Binder 6 Ed (Casenote Legal Briefs) near the end and really wished I had used it from the start. Emanuel just didn't cut it like the keyed versions, but Casenote and Understanding got me through. I found Siegels Criminal Law: Essay Multiple Choice Question Answer 2009 (Siegel's Series) far more useful and wish I had used from the start.
